Ash Of Ashes are a band from Germany that has been featured before in this zine and plays a musical style that describe as being 'epic skaldic metal' and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Skaldir" which will be released in May.
Ocean sounds and keyboards start off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Clear pagan vocals can also be heard in some parts of the recording while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along some black metal screams also being a very huge part of the recording.
Throughout the album you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also adding in touches of melodic death metal. Folk instruments and elements can also be heard on some of the tracks as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing and acoustic guitars and female vocals are also added on the closing song. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Historical and Mythological themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ash of Ashes and if you are fan of pagan metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Under The Moonlight Sun" "Evermore" and "To Those long Forgotten". 8 out of `0.
